Aseptic packaging of Processed Foods

Microbial organisms are ubiquitous by nature, occupying, as they do, many different ecological niches. Microbial organisms are classified into five groups, according to basic celluar structure. The five classifications are as follows:

1. Protoza. Protozoa are unicellular organisms with a definite nucleus, vacuoles, and mitochrondria (Cheng, 1987).

2. Algae. Algae are simple plants with cell walls, chlorophyll, and nucleus (Gaman and Sherrington, 1989).

3. Fungi. Fungi are nonphotosynthetic, multicellular, and unicellular plants with cell walls (Gaman and Sherrington, 1989).

4. Bacteria. Bacteria are minute unicellular organisms with a distinct nucleus and mitochrondria, but which are smaller than protozoans (Cheng, 1987).

5. Viruses. Viruses are minute organisms made of a protein coat and nucleic acid, which are incapable of reproducing outside of a host cell (Cheng, 1987).

Each of the microbial organisms may, under specific condi tions, be poisonous to humans, and these organisms may be transmitted to humans through foods. Indeed, some of these organisms are transmitted to humans only through foods. Some of these poisoning

e and heat. The hydrogen peroxide is applied to the container surface which will come into contact with the food. The filling pipe in this system, through which the food product is introduced into the container, is wrapped with a controlled heating element, which heats the container. A continuous flow of sterile air follows the filling tube to pre 5clude recontamination. This system requires the use of hydrogen peroxide in both the prescribed concentration, and at the prescribed rate. It also requires the use of a surfactant in conjunction with the hydrogen peroxide. Temperatures prescribed for the tube heating element are determined in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide concentrations and usage rates. The air sterilization heater must be operated in accordance with prescribed temperatures and pressures. Flexible Packages From ContinuousRoll Drum Stock The major difference between this process (flexible packages from continuous roll drum stock) and the flexible packages from continuous roll tube stock system is in the method by which the containers are heated. In this system, the container surface is passed over a heated drum, as opposed to heating the container by means of a filling tube heating element. Other
